College Football Rankings: BlogPoll Top 25 - Week 14 (Virginia Tech Moves to #2)

PrintI have moved Virginia Tech into the number two spot behind LSU for one simple reason. I have no desire to see a LSU-Alabama rematch as a national title game. While I realize that the BlogPoll doesn't count in the BCS, I would like some feedback as to how likely y'all think that this will happen in the BCS formulas should LSU win their SEC title game, Virginia Tech win the ACC, and Oklahoma State destroy Oklahoma in the Big 12 title game Bedlam rivalry game.
Bottom line - Alabama had their shot. It's time to give someone else a chance.
Unfortunately, it appears more likely that if there's a not a LSU-Alabama rematch that Stanford is poised to make a move, going in front of the Hokies in this week's BCS poll. Oklahoma State remains at #3 in the BCS, while I have them ranked #8. While there's a chance that someone could leap frog Alabama, it's pretty doubtful.... unless coaches change their votes en masse, and how likely is that? Oh, hell, prolly not very likely even if I want it to happen.
Wisconsin comes in at #5, which is fairly high compared to the AP and Coaches polls and I fully expect them to throttle Michigan State in next week's inaugural Big Ten Championship game.
Nebraska re-joins the poll at #19.
As always, feedback needed!

I refuse
to believe that the VT squad is #2. If I were to put them against any of the other #3-#9, I wouldn’t pick VT to win that game. Their SOS is like 80th. The ACC is weak sauce.
I say screw it
Put Houston #2.

I think Husker Mike might agree
Let’s get both HM and CN listed as “Whack Voters” this week. :-)
Not that I disagree with the vote or think it’s “whack”. Houston is undefeated. But I doubt anyone is really going to put Houston above Alabama, Wisconsin, etc.
Are they a real #2? Probably not. But they are undefeated, the others (besides LSU) are not.
Which is exactly why the BCS is by far the most assbackwards piece of s..I'll stop here.
Houston, like the other non-BCS teams in the past do what is asked of them. Yet they don’t get a shot. What are they competing for then? Wtf is the illusion we’re trying to create here?
Did you guys notice that after a 2 loss streak that they started when they were ranked in the 20’s, Texas still was ranked at 25? Even though the coaches didn’t have them ranked? The bcs, the computers, the whole system being run by “votes” is just so full of shit.
Ok, maybe I got mad at work and am venting here, sorry guys.
*One last thing – I’d been hearing about “staff changes” over the weekend, today I hear this means Bo is going to fire Carl, because Carl is being seen with lots of girls and is getting divorced. Something Bo’s jesus side really disagrees with.

Love you, Jon, but I'm just glad you don't have a real ballot
Because putting VT #2 and OSU #8 is insane.
Wins over FBS teams with winning records: VT 4 (Georgia Tech, Virginia, North Carolina, Arkansas State), OSU 6 (KSU, Baylor, Texas, Missouri, Tulsa, Louisiana-Lafayette).
Wins over teams in the BCS Top 25: VT 0 (!), OSU 4 (KSU, Baylor, Texas, Missouri).
I don’t mind someone other than Alabama getting a shot, but Virginia Tech? Virginia Tech?!?
Agree
I vote OSU #2. The strength of their wins is much greater than VaTech’s. Plus, it sure would be fun to see if OSU’s O could do anything against that LSU D. Don’t you love how Verne Lundquist refers to Mathieu as ‘Honey Badger’ during the broadcast?
And I’m not so sure that Stanford should be ranked ahead of Oregon at this point, either, despite Oregon’s 2 losses. Is there any doubt that Oregon is better than Stanford? Clearly, Stanford has benefited from an incredibly weak schedule.
And I definitely agree with Jon that Alabama should not go to the title game for a rematch with LSU. It just doesn’t seem fair to LSU to ask them to beat Alabama twice to win the NC. Also, should a team be able to go to the NCG if they haven’t even won their division, let alone their conference? I remember a lot of outcry about this in 2001, but haven’t heard a peep about it this year.
It is completely fair
that if Alabama beats LSU one time they are the national champs, but for LSU to win the title, they have to beat Bama twice.
The SEC was screaming when it possibly was OSU vs. Mich rematch for title game. Now, when the shoe is on the other foot, they are all about rematches.

Because ESSSSS SEEEEE SEEEEE is number 1!
EVERYONE in college football (ESPiN) knows this!
And look what happened. They both got killed in their bowl games that year.
LSU has beaten a very good team from almost every BCS conference this year. Their OOC is stellar. Bama beat Penn State away and only lost to LSU in OT. They are the two best teams, clearly.
CLEARLY.

Your argument
is invalid. You say “and look what happened”. With your scenario, we will never know because they will play again. They lost both of the bowl games. What is to say that LSU and Bama won’t lose both their games this year? If LSU were to play Bama again and lose, is Bama the champion? They didn’t even win their conference division. If LSU were to lose, they went 1-1 versus Bama and therefore…….they are not national champions?
Because how many teams does LSU have to face to prove it?
And Bama lost in OT. Everyone else lost to lessor opponents. I don’t get whats so confusing.
LSU is not being argued here, good sir!
We all know that the Hat and his Tigers are the best damn team in the land. We’ve seen it.
What we argue is that Alabama had their shot. They lost. It’s someone else’s turn.

The Mid West "Occupy BCS Movement". Wow, you cow pokes are laughable.
Florida re-matched with Florida State for the NCG.
VT is re-matching against Clemson this week for their title.
Whisky is having a re-match with Mich. State for their title.
So they shouldn’t be able to have their title game in a re-match either? Thats just idiotic.
The solution is very, very, simple. If you are OSU, don’t lose to an unranked Iowa State. If your Stanford don’t get killed by the #10 team when you are #3. And VT? Really? They lost to Clemson and their OOC play was the bottom of the barrel. So, that leaves one undefeated team (LSU) and one team that has only one loss to the #1 team (Bama). Houston has about as much argument to get there as Boise State. And look what happens to Boise State every year they enter the conversation. Houston doesnt have the defense nor the size to compete against either LSU or Bama.
But not to worry. My bet is that they add a “plus 1” game after this year. Thats what the AD’s and coach’s would like as well. #2 vs. #4, #1 vs. #3.
HULLO SEC PERSON.
There’s a difference between a conference championship (a format which depends on conference membership and are decided by head-to-head matchups) and the mythical unicorn that we call a national championship (which is 95% based on the whims of people who watch 10% of football games).
I’m not saying Alabama isn’t good. I’m merely protesting a system which would allow Alabama to win a national championship with a 1-1 record to LSU, while LSU loses it with a 1-1 record against Alabama.
That hardly makes any sense.
And of course, if the media people weren’t making sweet, sweet love to the SEC, we wouldn’t have this situation.
LSU played an excellent OOC schedule. Alabama did not.
Hell, Western Kentucky scored a TD against LSU, which Alabama couldn’t. Should we let WKU into the game?

I agree.
Bama might be the second best team, but they had their shot and lost. If this were a playoff and Bama and LSU made it to the end, so be it.
I might even be willing to go with a rematch if Bama had lost to LSU at LSU
But you lost to LSU in your own house, Bama. That was your shot. You lost. You’re done.
It drives me nuts that every year around this time, we get confused and start thinking the BCS is about determining the two best teams. It is not. It is about determining the best team. And we found out on Nov. 5 that Bama is not the best team. So there’s no sense putting them in the national championship game. The end.

So you play who? OSU? Who lost to an unranked team? VT? Stanford?
Who deserves it more? Look, don’t punish the school because of the system.
OSU
Easy call. They’ve played (and beaten) several more Top 25 teams, several more Top 50 teams, and (if they beat OU, obviously), they’ll have actually won their conference.
Yes, they lost to an unranked team. With a winning record. On the road. In double OT. If you look at the whole resume, OSU’s is just better than Bama’s, and that’s before you even factor in the added advantage of not already having lost at home to the NCG opponent.
If Bama doesn’t make the NCG, don’t blame “the system,” and don’t whine about the voters “punishing the kids” (THINK OF THE CHILDREN!). Blame a weak nonconference schedule, a down-year SEC, and your team for having the opportunity to play its way into the NCG at home and blowing it.

OSU will only top our schedule after playing OU.
And they will not move up past Bama. The coaches poll will not change. If VT wins against Clemson then we are a sure lock.
I know
It’s sad, isn’t it? And all your complaining will become a moot point, too.
As for strength of schedule, I’m not sure what measurement you’re using, but the numbers disagree with you.
by Cheeseandcorn on Nov 28, 2011 5:01 PM CST up reply actions
Number of top 10 teams OSU has played..."0"
They get better schedule rankings because the Big 12ish is better on bottom than most conferences this year. Look at the Predictor. Thats a pretty wide margin.
Oh, that's right, Kansas State is #11 - what a convenient cutoff point
Hmm…so #2 vs. #4 is a “wide margin” – and one that would be significantly narrowed if OSU beat OU, no less. Whatever you say, man.

I think winning the conference is great. We started the conference championship games.
But I do not agree with making it a condition to get to the NCG. There will be times when two teams from the same conference are better than most, or the top two period. Hell, ND isnt even in a conference. So they don’t qualify?
TO THIS WE CAN AGREE.
And honestly, if the two teams never meet on the field, I can be okay with two teams from the same conference meeting in the MNC BCS game.
But Alabama and LSU met already, and Alabama lost.
I just don’t think it’s worth a rematch and I for one will not watch. Obviously, I’m just one person and I’m sure you’ll watch whatever game Alabama gets sent to.
I should be clear in all of this are that these are my opinions, not shared by the people here, the people in Lincoln or even the pygmies in Papua New Guinea.

Dude, national championship caliber teams do not lose to an unranked team, at home or away. They have a defense that is ranked 107 out of 120 teams. 107!
Thats freakin hilarious. They havent played against anyone with a descent defense all year. Weeden is a statue and would get killed against either LSU or Bama.
Really? National championship teams don't lose to unranked teams?

I agree with your assessment of the current system. I don't agree with the media love so much.
After all, there is a little proof in the pudding as far as conference strength goes. Football, yeah. Wrestling and basketball, not so much. I will ask this question again, if not Bama, then who? I am a Bama fan and I don’t like it either. When we get the win, and I truly believe we will, who has really won? The argument will not end. But we WILL have the crystal ball. I am all for a plus 1. But you can’t force conference championship winners as the only teams that qualify. So you say the winner of the Big East has a shot? So your saying that the top two teams in the B1G arent better than the conference champion of the ACC? That makes no sense.
(Basketball? Wrestling?) What does that have to do with the FBS Division 1 Mythical National Championship? /snark

You don't believe your team is better than any team in the Big East? I do.
So that argument goes out of the window. Conferences have down years and there will be times when two teams in the same conference deserve a shot in a plus 1 system or playoff.
WHOA.
I would never suggest the Big East was a good football conference. That’s just…wrong.
But I don’t believe an SEC team could play through the Big Ten schedule with the same record, nor do I believe a Big Ten team could play through the SEC, or that a Big 12 school could play through either conference, and wind up as the winner.
If you’re the conference champion, you are, by a matter of record, the best team in your conference. Why would there be any argument for anyone else in the conference?
Your argument only works when discussing a playoff system, in which conference champions earn an automatic seeding in the brackets.
In the current system, it makes no sense for a non-conference winner to challenge for the national championship.

Yeah, but
No one is suggesting the Big East champ goes to the NCG either. One of their teams went undefeated a few years ago (Cincinatti?) and got no NCG consideration, and no one cared. The Big East sucks.
My point is that if the SEC has a real down year and the B1G has a year filled with top five teams....
it wouldnt be right for your teams to give up a spot just because we are a major conference and have a champion. You can’t have it both ways. Either go by the rankings of strictly by whoever wins their conference. Not both.
Oh, and one other thing.
Oklahoma State are the Cowpokes.

Never thought I'd say this
But I feel bad for LSU. They open up by soundly beating (imho) the third best team in college football this year. Later on, they go AT Alabama where they beat Alabama. Apart from that, the two teams’ resumes are virtually identical, with LSU having on average a slightly larger margin of victory against common opponents.
What’s their reward for all of this? Another neutral site game against a very good and white hot Georgia team while Alabama sits on their couches at home. Then after LSU dispatches them, they get a winner take all neutral field do over with Alabama. Should Alabama win the rematch (which they likely would, as the two teams are almost perfectly even and rematches benefit the loser of the first game in these situations), it would go down in the books as one of the most blatantly stolen national titles in history. Bama had their shot and lost. They have no business getting a double dip against LSU.
I’m pretty sure I know 3 things:
1. LSU and Alabama are BY FAR the best teams in the country this year.
2. If I were a voter in a BCS-influencing poll, I’d drop Alabama from my top 25 to help prevent a rematch, as LSU-Alabama has already been decided on the field…Alabama’s field no less.
3. The actual voters won’t do this because they’re too enamored by ESPN’s hard on for the SEC.

I wouldn't call New Orleans a neutral field. It's like a home game for LSU.
Also, the last vote of the year has published results making it hard for someone with that type of agenda to get away with it.
Other than that, I agree. But I think if you asked both teams which one wants the SECCG while the other sits, you would get both of them fighting to play in the SEC game against UGA. Theres no doubt about that.
Accept for one fact
They sell equal amounts of tickets to both teams fans. Just because it is in their state doesn’t give them any type of home field advantage.
Tell that to the B1G teams that have played there.
They would strongly disagree.
I was going to make a comment about us having a bowl game, then I realized that the two bowls we seem to be in consideration for are on the 2nd.
DERP.
Good luck to Alabama wherever the football gods do say they land.
I for one will not watch if they end up against LSU but I do hope they win because every fail on the part of the BCS is one step closer to us scrapping the whole thing and going back to the free-for-all bowl system and competing NCs from the AP and the Coaches.

Thanks. And I agree. I will be pulling for a "plus 1" system but I guess anything is better than what we have currently.
But I will say one of the brightest spots of this year is seeing texas get their asses handed to them quite a bit. Thats been really nice to see. Whatever they are doing in Austin, I hope they keep it up.
Apparently we were their good luck charm. So we've got that going for us.
Don’t worry, they’ll still believe that the TEXAS LONGHORNS are the bestest ever. And they’ll make fun of Nebraskans for living in the past while touting an 8-1 record against us.
A few more seasons of Mack Brown not giving a crap and they’ll be begging to play us though.
Thanks for schwacking them for playing in a game they shouldn’t have been in the first place. Much appreciated.
